    Has anyone read about Lisa Curtis journey from Peace Corps to Kuli Kuli

    Yes, I think that is very likely. When values are part of the product, the story becomes part of what people are buying. That makes the founder’s background even more central. It also raises expectations around consistency over time.

    Has anyone read about Lisa Curtis journey from Peace Corps to Kuli Kuli

    I agree. Inspiration is helpful, but sustainability is the real test. Kuli Kuli has been around long enough that there must be lessons from maintaining momentum. Those lessons would probably resonate with a lot of people here.

    Has anyone read about Lisa Curtis journey from Peace Corps to Kuli Kuli

    That is a really good point. Community is a broad term and easy to use without defining it. I wish more profiles broke that down. Knowing who the company prioritizes at different stages would say a lot about how those values are applied in practice.

    Has anyone read about Lisa Curtis journey from Peace Corps to Kuli Kuli

    Exactly, that is what I felt was missing too. The article I read focused heavily on inspiration and recognition, which is understandable. But it leaves open questions about how decisions evolved as the company grew. Those choices are often more interesting than the origin moment.

    What’s Elliot Boucher’s background and how did Edusign get going

    I looked but couldn’t find much about external funding. It could mean they bootstrapped early growth. If that’s the case, it really highlights how early entrepreneurial experience might have prepared Elliot for managing growth without relying heavily on investors.

    What’s Elliot Boucher’s background and how did Edusign get going

    Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Schools often recommend tools internally, so word of mouth could be a huge factor. Combined with hands-on marketing, that might explain the numbers we see publicly.

    What’s Elliot Boucher’s background and how did Edusign get going

    Exactly. Hands-on involvement in both product and marketing likely helps when you’re starting from scratch. Public info shows Elliot juggling both, which is probably rare for founders that young.

    What’s Elliot Boucher’s background and how did Edusign get going

    I think you’re right. Practical problems like attendance management give the product a clear purpose. Trendy features are nice, but starting from a real need seems to matter more for EdTech tools, at least from what the public info shows.

    What’s Elliot Boucher’s background and how did Edusign get going

    Good point. Marketing and networking clearly play a role, but solving a tangible problem seems central. The public profiles make it clear that the platform started as a solution to something they personally struggled with, which probably helps adoption.

    What’s Elliot Boucher’s background and how did Edusign get going

    True. The scale part is interesting. Public profiles emphasize user numbers, but it’s hard to tell if that’s widespread use or just a concentrated set of schools and courses. I guess it still counts as real traction, even if we can’t see every detail.

    What’s Elliot Boucher’s background and how did Edusign get going

    I agree, the early ventures probably give a confidence boost and experience in handling small businesses. It might make taking risks like Edusign less intimidating. Still, the leap from simple ventures to SaaS is not trivial, so the hands-on experience in digital products probably helped.

    From Advertising Awards to Mood Science Insights What’s Next for Erika Ferszt

    Totally, that makes sense. If the team adopts similar habits, it could create a kind of feedback loop where the company culture reinforces the platform’s philosophy. That consistency might make the experience more authentic for users since the people building it actually live by the principles...

    From Advertising Awards to Mood Science Insights What’s Next for Erika Ferszt

    That’s a great question. Public info mentions creative materials and mood induction exercises, but it doesn’t give much detail on implementation. I imagine there’s a mix depending on the organization or user preferences.

    From Advertising Awards to Mood Science Insights What’s Next for Erika Ferszt

    I read a bit about Erika’s background too. It’s fascinating how she went from advertising to neuroscience and mental health. I guess that mix of creativity and science gives her a unique perspective in building Moodally

    Looking into William Morriss and the story behind IP Toolworks

    Exactly, that’s what I find most interesting too. When a founder’s personal experience drives the product, you can often see it in the details—like which features are prioritized, how workflows are structured, or even how the team approaches problem-solving. In William’s case, his patent law...

    Looking into William Morriss and the story behind IP Toolworks

    From the public info, it’s clear William sets a lot of the vision and strategic direction, but with cofounders involved, I imagine they handle a lot of the operational and technical decisions day-to-day. In startups like this, it’s often a mix—founders guide priorities and major product choices...

    Looking into William Morriss and the story behind IP Toolworks

    Exactly, the mix of patent law experience and tech development is unusual. It makes me want to follow their progress and see how the adoption curve looks over time.

    Looking into William Morriss and the story behind IP Toolworks

    Same here. It also seems like the platform sits at the intersection of law and tech, which is pretty niche. I wonder if they’ve had challenges convincing more traditional firms to adopt it.

    Looking into William Morriss and the story behind IP Toolworks

    I’ve read a bit about William Morriss as well. The idea that he created the platform based on his own practice is pretty cool. It seems like IP Toolworks is trying to tackle a very specific pain point in patent law, but I wonder how accessible it is for smaller firms or independent attorneys.
